There are ways of lessening the wind influence, as the wind is felt strongest on Marine Drive. It's more manageable (usually) to deal with headwinds inland. So you could go out with the wind on Marine Dr, then cross over the I-5 or 205 bridge to ride Old Evergreen on the Washington side. Or make it more a loop and use the Springwater Corridor.
Not trying to tell you how to ride your ride, just giving some advice from years of practice. :-) -Shawn On Tue, Sep 17, 2013 at 7:45 PM, Eric Norris <campyonly...@me.com> wrote: > As of today, it's looking like at least showers, so perhaps the wind won't > be a factor.
